I have a question for Christians???

Question

Now obviously, not all Christians are creationists, but I have never met a creationist atheist, so this question is directed towards Christians who believe in creationism. Lets just assume that all of humanity started from Adam and Eve. If Adam and Eve were the first humans, does that mean that their kids had sex with eachother to reproduce???? Did Adam and Eve live by the philosophy that "if you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in the family"???? Also, let's just assume that Adam and Eve were white. If Adam and Eve were white, where did blacks, latinos and asians come from???

Answer 1

Well I think I may know the answers to your questions. First off yes, Adam and Eves children did mate with each other according to the bible and then branched off to form different "clans". As for why we are different races. When people tried to build a ladder to heaven God seperated or segregated if you will, the people so that they couldnt work together. Now this may be hear say but thats how I remember it.

Answer 2

There are many questions about the beginning of time that are answered. God gives enough information for us to find salvation in Jesus Christ. He does not, however, give us all the information there is. Among this information is how the population of the earth proceeded after Adam and Eve. Were Adam and Eve white? Most likely not. Scholars and Christian scientist believe the Garden of Eden was in the Mediterrean region. If this is true, Adam and Eve would more than likely been tan. There is, again, no biblical indication but I believe, from the information that is provided, that after the Tower of Babel, people migrated north to what is now Europe and over the years, developed skin pigment of a lighter (white) shade. Others migrated south, to what is now Africa and developed a darker (black) shade. Where did the American Indians come from if no one came to the New World until the second millinium? No idea. I'd suggest following Jesus during your life and ask God yourself when you get to heaven.

Answer 3

Obviously you need to read the Bible,Dude. Yes Adam and Eve were the first people God created but it does not say God stopped creating people after He created them. And if you decide to read the Bible you will run across the story about the tower of babel and after God destroyed it He created Different races to keep them from communicating with each other and doing it all over again. Take care and may God bless you spiritually,and I'm sure if you start reading His word He will not be offended.

Answer 4

There were other people created after Adam and Eve. They were just the first ones. If you read your living bible, the footnotes help explain that after Cain killed Able, he had to worry about other people wanting to kill him. Some suggest that it showed the future, rapid rate of multiplication from Adam and Eve, but more likely, other people were created and incest was not a problem.

Answer 5

I'm not touching on Adam and Eve, but the genetic evidence shows that whiter skin is the later mutation.

Reflecting an old Arthur C Clarke short story where an advanced race contacts Earth, informing us that we are in fact a long lost colony of theirs, and not to worry about that odd longstanding disfiguring disease, because "if any of you are still white we can cure you".

Answer 6

Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

Races
According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descended from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people, who have certain features (e.g. skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "within race" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 7

i beleive in some form of creationism but i think people take the bible too literally sometimes so i really cant say....
I beleive that adam and eve bore cain and able but i dont think they were white, does it even say that in the bible???
White people came about when african tribes migrated north and in order to obtain vitamin d from the sun, their skin needed to be later. I heard somewhere that asian eyes came about to keep sand out but im not sure. Black people are black to protect them from the sun.

Answer 8

God told them to be fruitful and multiply. for the sake of population they had to sleep with each other. in those days it wasn't labeled as incest. different skin colors from different climates of the world. if you lived up north in the cold..you skin would be more white of pale...(not that much sun to change the skin color)..if you lived in the desert or close to the equator....the darker your skin got.

Answer 9

i am a christian, i do believe in the creation, but i think you pose a good question.....i do not know the answer to it, but could it have been possible that there were other people created that weren't written about?
